LOVE being underdog. Overreaction to this weekend's games.
The team is going to need to sack up and bring their A game next week... biggest home game for Miami in ages.
ND is favored

Excellent. Get the boys fired up when they see they are an underdog. (I realize this would be a pick em on a neutral site.)
In hindsight I'm not sure why we (me included) were so high on VA Tech beating Miami because VT has done nothing all year to merit that praise. They've lost to the only two ranked teams they've played all year and their marquee win is WVU. They could easily win 10 games and have their 2 best wins all year be WVU and GA Tech. Color me super unimpressed.
By NFL betting-line norms, this means it's about even, right? I've heard that, for NFL teams, the home-field advantage is worth 3 points. Not sure if that's true, or not.
Amazes me how people can't read betting lines.
ND is favored.
Dizzy above said we were dog, just reading that. I actually write a weekly gambling column on ISD that is way over 60%.

This seems like a wide range in point spread. I used to seeing 1 or 2 points difference. The PREDICTOR covers the entire season so I suspect it reflects MIA's somewhat softer schedule. The RECENT doesn't so I suspect it reflects MIA's 18 point win over VA Tech while late scores by Wake Forest made the ND game appear closer than it was. Sagarin doesn't account for a score with 30 seconds on the clock but doesn't consider the score as well as Wins, SOS, and MOV depending on the model.

The first betting lines are out for next weekend's highly anticipated showdown between No. 7 Miami and No. 3 Notre Dame and the Hurricanes are an underdog.
VegasInsider.com's had the Fighting Irish as a consensus 4-point favorite over UM on Sunday.
Miami is fresh off a 28-10 beat down of Virginia Tech. Notre Dame on the other hand took down Wake Forest with a 48-37 win. The Irish lead the all-time series 18-7-1 and has won four straight including last year's meeting in South Bend.

I hope we're super classless and distateful with our signs.
The turn over Jesus chain was pretty good.....the rest mostly tasteless.
Dizzy was wrong or misinformed. Not sure why ANYONE would think we'd be a DOG here.
One would think someone who writes a "gambling column" would do better research.
Not sure what one has to do with the other.

No, not your opinion; your pissing contest. Your drive by. dizzy clearly was the poster with a minus in front of Miami. Perhaps he say early odds which changed, perhaps dizzy made a typo. dizzy's post was up about an hour before anyone else posted a spread. You even commented on the O/U long before commenting about MIA being the favorite.
Regardless, for some reason you went trolling after Lax. You included a copy of his post and only his post. No mention of dizzy nor anyone else, just Lax. He mentioned the gambling article to explain his familiarity with the subject because you went after him. Yet you came back at him with another swipe wondering why he would mention that.
Like I said in the neg rep you earned for your BS. "Take the pissing contest elsewhere." You're the only one pissing.
I do enjoy the fact that Miami and their "fans" embrace unabashedly the heel role in CFB. Mark Richt, for his clean cut image the media has bestowed upon him, always led pretty classless and thuggish UGA teams. I'll never forget when he had every player on the UGA sideline storm the field and stomp in endzone after they scored on the opening drive of the game in the Cocktail party in '07. I expect full on bad guy retro 80s Jimmy Johnson era Hurricane behavior on Saturday.
This is a game where I really hope we just RTDB all day long. I want 33 Trucking fueled and ready to roll. I want to physically wear them down and break them. Chucking the ball around the yard like it was 2015 against Wake was fun and all but it isn't quite as satisfying as physically manhandling your opponent.
These guys think they're tough but I want them to prove it in the trenches for 60 minutes because I think our guys are stronger and more physical than they are.[/QUOTE]

What's your problem?
I'm posting on my phone from an airport, not exactly doing "research" right now. Just read the line Dizzy posted and responded... what's the big deal? Reason I mentioned what I did was because you were talking about "not reading lines" and I was reading the posted line I saw in the thread.

Latest line I saw was ND opened as a 1.5 favorite, went up to 4 and now is at 3.
